Reach Extension

Reach Extension is a broad category that includes optical to electrical to optical (O-E-O) regeneration for a single channel (10Mbps up to 10Gbps) and optical amplification (erbium doped fiber amplifier – EDFA) for all wavelengths (channels) in a DWDM system.

The Optelian RGN O-E-O regenerators provide 28dB of gain for single channels. They are bit rate and protocol independent and operate from 10Mbps up to 10Gbps.

The Optelian OFA-210 is a gain flattened, single-stage, C-band optical amplifier (EDFA) with a +17dBm optical power output.
